Inquiry: Olympics

This week for Inquiry we had a new rotation, group three went down stairs to Mr Wong for the Olympics and us Diet. We were learning about the athletes diets, we had to do some challenges. They were Nutrients, Ancient Olympic Athletes diet, Modern Olympic Athletes diet, and our diets. My favourite challenge was the nutrients challenge because it was challenging and we had trouble attributing images. 

Run,Jump,Throw - Long Jump

Yesterday the whole class went out onto the courts for run, jump, throw. We had Andi couch as, we had a game of octopus first before long jump. Then we had to learn the basic skills, then we went on to the long jump. We had to get into groups and see who can jump the farest, then the people that won went to the finals. I had fun doing kiwi sport.

Inquiry: Hauora - Afu

This week for Inquiry we rotated to another teacher for Olympics. We were with Mrs Anderson and we were learning about Hauora for the Olympics. We had to work with a LS1 person and I was working with Koloa, Jack. We had to do challenges they were, Attributing Images, Try and make our four walls stand, Measure our heart rate, Make Hauora diagram using Canva. Hauora is the 4 walls, taha tinana - physical well being, Taha hinengaro - mental and emotional well being, taha whanau - social well being, and taha wairua - spiritual well being. I really enjoyed doing Hauora being we got to learn about what it means in the Olympics and we got to learn what it is about.

Provocation - Olympic venues

LI: To consider both points of view/ opinions/ perspectives when forming an opinion. Today LS2 had to create a DLO about Olympic venues, our question was Should host nations have to spend so much money on building Olympic venues? We had to include both points of view, my opinion, a before and after picture of an Olympic venue. My opinion was No because they spend alot of money on the buildings. Point of view A thought no, and point of view B thought yes. I chose to do the National Beijing Stadium for before and after, we also had to attribute our images. They spent 2.9 billion on the National Beijing Stadium, I think that is a waste of money because they don't reuse the buildings. 

Kiwi sport: Run, Jump, Throw - Andy

Today for Kiwi Sport LS2 went to the hall for run, jump, throw. Our couch was named Andy, we started off with a warm up game called octopus. There were 4 people in the middle of the court, then the the rest off as had to line up across the line, then the people in the middle had to say things like "if you have bare feet run," if you get tagged you have to stand still trying to tag people. We were learning to do stance position and reaction time. We had to line up behind the yellow line, then Andy said to step 1 metre behind the line, then she said "on your mark!" then we had to put our left leg behind the yellow line. Then she said "set!" then we had to leave our right leg at the back of as and make sure our leg is bent and our foot is not touching the ground, then she clapped that's when we ran to the other side of the court. We had cones handed out to as, then we had to put the cones at the court. We had to sit down in a line facing our buddy, when she said on your mark set then she clapped, we had to run to the end of the court and get the cone and bring it back to the middle, team A won the first round. We had a second round and we had to lie down on our stomach and repeat it. I really enjoyed going to run, jump, throw because I got to learn new skills.

Inquiry: Training - Afu

This term LS1 and LS2 were doing new rotations, the rotations are about the Olympics. Their is ancients and modern Olympics, Diet, Training, and Hauora. I am in Training with Mr Ogilvie, we learn about what the Olympics do in training. This is a DLO created on a Google slides, this shows attributing images, Near pod, Modern and ancient Olympic games, What you need to consider and Organisation. My favourite activity was organisation because it was challenging and I got to explain how to do a basic training skill. I really enjoyed going to training with Mr Ogilvie because it was a cool part of the Olympics.

Current Events - Afu

Today for reading we learnt about the big sleep out on the news, we had to do currents events about the big sleep out. We do current events so we can know what is happening around the world. The big sleep out is about people going to the AUT University for the big sleep out, they have to sleep in the cold weather on cardboard. We had to read the article about the big sleep out, then we had to right our information on the current event DLO. I think that people should give some money to the homeless because the homeless have deal with rough weather, no food, no warmth, and no home. I really enjoyed doing this because we got to learn about what people are doing for the homeless. 

Run, Jump, Throw

Yesterday the yr 8's went to the hall for Run, Jump, Throw. Our couch was Andy, we learnt 5 basic skill of running. We had to run in a straight line, run with light feet, run looking at what is in front of as, standing up straight, and run with our arms bent. We had to line up in to line in front of the orange hurdles, then we had to run with high knees while we were going over the hurdles. Then we had a race to see witch line will finish first. I really enjoyed going to Run, Jump, Throw because I learnt 5 basic running skills.

Time Tables Quizizz

Today for Maths the whole of LS2 played a game called Quizizz. We were practising recalling our 5 times tables at a speed using quizizz. We were having a race to see who is the fastest at doing their timetables. We only got 10 seconds to answer every times tables. When the game finished it shows what you need to work on. It was ranking in order, the first time I played the game I got 3rd and the second time I played I got 18th. I think I done well because I was getting a good rank.
